EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a poignant moment in history as British soldiers gather for prayer inside the hallowed walls of St Martin-in-the-Fields church, located in London's Trafalgar Square, before departing for the front lines during World War I. The year was 1917, and the soldiers, many of whom were likely making their final prayers before leaving Charing Cross Station for the trenches, sought solace and strength in their faith as they prepared to face the unimaginable horrors of war. The church, with its iconic red doors and elegant spire, stands as a beacon of hope and respite amidst the chaos and uncertainty of wartime London. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their gear, form a solemn line as they bow their heads in prayer, their faces etched with a mixture of determination, fear, and reverence. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the human side of war, reminding us of the sacrifices made by these brave men and women who answered the call to duty. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of faith and the importance of finding solace and strength in times of uncertainty and hardship. St Martin-in-the-Fields, with its rich history and connection to the military, has long been a place of refuge and reflection for soldiers and civilians alike. This image serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
